STR’s Pre-Order Excitement: What Do We Have Pre-Ordered?

So, this year has been a fantastic year for game releases! I’ve never pre-ordered anything before but this year I feel like I’m pre-ordering everything…(Lord have mercy on my bank account.) I guess I’m using today’s post to share with you what games I’ve already pre-ordered and games I am waiting to pre-order.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS
If you are new to the blog and don’t know, I did a post on this game previously when it was first announced. Back then, we only had three or four new characters with a couple veterans. Now, there is just a little over a month until the release date! Since that post there have been many additions to the roster. Nintendo has already done a Nintendo Direct on it and it seems ridiculously awesome. As a huge fan of the SSB series, I can’t wait to see how the game play is on the 3DS versus the WiiU. Also, I am thinking about making Palutena my main fighter!Super Smash Bros. 3DS is set to release on October 9. 2014.

Hatsune Miku Project Diva f 2nd
Please don’t judge me for the large amounts of Miku on the blog lately…sorry. Anyways, I’ve always enjoyed rhythm games since the times of Dance Dance Revolution despite the fact that I have little to no rhythm. I am so excited to see Sega bringing Project Diva and even Project Mirai to the states! I had no idea that pre-ordering the game from GameStop would mean that I would get an extra downloadable costume that strongly resembles a Cowboys’ cheerleader costume along with 3 downloadable characters. I’m super excited to play and hopefully gain some sort of rhythm from playing.Hatsune Miku Project Diva f 2nd is set to release on November 28, 2014.

Hyrule Warriors
Do you all have any idea how stupidly excited I was when a Dynasty Warriors and Legend of Zelda collaboration was announced!? I may have poo’d myself…just kidding!! But I was seriously excited and already felt a wave of nostalgia running through me. I remember playing Dynasty Warriors on my PS2 and loving the fluid game play and the awesome female fighters. Of course, Hyrule Warriors is not disappointing in the female character department as Zelda, Lana, Agitha, Midna, and even Ruto make their way to the roster! The game play looks just as fluid if not more than what I remember and the attention to details is close to perfection. I believe if you pre-ordered through GameStop there are DLC costumes.Hyrule Warriors is set to release on September 18, 2014.

Project Mirai -Remixed- (Working Title)This 3DS addition to the oncoming state-side Hatsune Miku titles is such a new announcement that GameStop has yet to update their website on it. Actually, it was announced not even two months ago and is set to release sometime in 2015! Judging from the initial release article, this title will be based off of the Japan release titled “Project Mirai 2.” The game play is much like that of the Project Diva series with the exception of character design. Project Mirai characters resemble that of their Nendroid figurines from Good Smile Company. I think this would be a fantastic game to play on the road since there’s not much reading and includes 47 songs that are catchy and you’re bound to like them at some point.Project Mirai -Remixed- is set to release in 2015.

Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
You guys already know how big of a Pokénerd I am and the moment I heard that one of the best generations was getting a remake I had a mini heart attack of excitement! We’ve gotten a few glimpses of this remake and what we know is that this will be a different storyline than the original. Mega evolutions will be appearing and with more pokemon able to do so. Secret bases are online and it should have a lot of the same game play as that of Pokemon X & Y. I am hoping to have a lot of the same character customization and more mixed generations of Pokemon appearing as they did in the previous batch.Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire are set to release on November 21, 2014.

Welp, that’s it for today’s post! I hope you enjoyed it and geeked out as hard as I did!! Guess what?
